God requires honour, in a form of physical gifts that shows that he is king......we offer the best 2 eartly kings but we disregurd God. He wants us 2 give 4 our own bennefits not that he is in leak
God is always faithful and just. Always giving us the previllege and pportunity to rededicate our lifes and hearts to him. He is patiently waiting for us to com back to him. God bless you all.
Verse 14: But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen. This verse sweetens my belly, and also described the kind of God we serve- dreadful God.
True worship in our hearts and actions is a pure sacrifice to the Lord our Father. Of which good are we if we become a living sacrifice which walks away from the sacrificial alter. Let’s lay our total lifestyle for Christ and never get tired of being ambassadors of Christ. He never got tired of the cross. May His grace abound with us.
In fact, Prophet Malachi, the same word speaks to us today too. Many times, we feel that we are children of God, praying, reading bible, giveing tigthes etc., However, are we really have the fear of God? Just think about and let us rededicate ourselves to the word of God.
Indeed God is speaking to his people today through the Spirit of Prophecy. Malachi is aperfect picture of the present day churches. There are several truths mentioned that Gods people overlook such as obedience to HiS law and the fate of the wicked.
If I were called to revive a sleeping or a dying Church, I would begin with preparing the altar upon which sacrifices are given because that's the root cause of spiritual death!
I see how merciful our Father in heaven is he give us warnings all the time. he is always giving the opportunity to come to his rest and we sinners just as in noahs time we go everyday to our care of this stuff without rest, is as if we are looking for rest with all the stuff on our backs willingly ignoring the the wrath of GOD to come, as we see it developing everywhere.
